The Rising Stars Recognition Program

Applications will reopen in 2025
Apply for Rising Star!

Why should I apply/nominate?

The Rising Stars Community Program is exclusive, fun, and inspiring. Our goals for you while in this program are to support your efforts as a ServiceNow practitioner and to recognize you for your helpful content.

With your participation in this program, we can continue building a diverse, inclusive, vibrant, and global community. If you are thinking about being even more active in the ServiceNow ecosystem, then becoming a Rising Star is a great goal!

How am I recognized?

You are recognized through global announcements, features in the online community, virtual meetups, elevated involvement in ServiceNow events, and branded swag! You will also get exposure to a network of ServiceNow enthusiasts, practitioners, and community advocates who are growing their product expertise.

Every awardee receives an official Rising Star badge placed throughout the Community site and a unique star rank that appears near the username to showcase this achievement and status. These will also appear on the profile page.

What is expected?

Rising Stars show a commitment to being present and resourceful. You are expected to be polite and respectful to others at all times as detailed in the ServiceNow Community Code of Conduct. You must be responsive and create original content that is helpful.

This is demonstrated through online discussions with others, attendance at events like SNUGs and Developer Meetups, sharing helpful comments, providing accepted solutions to questions, and many other contributions to the ServiceNow ecosystem.

Eligibility and Selections

Who is eligible?

You are a ServiceNow practitioner: partner, customer, or independent. Only ServiceNow employees are not eligible for this award.

All applicants must be registered members and you will need to provide the link to your community profile.
Your content and activities must be up-to-date within the last few months.

When is Rising Star awarded?

You have two opportune times to apply.

If you apply in July and get selected, then you will be announced in September. If you apply in December and get selected, then you will be announced in February.

The Rising Star award is valid until the end of the calendar year. Eligible members will be encouraged to apply again for the following year.

ServiceNow reserves the right to induct Rising Stars at other times if necessary. ServiceNow also reserves the right to revoke Rising Star status for an individual.

Become a Rising Star

The process is easy. Submit a completed nominee application form during July 1-31 and December 1-31st of each calendar year. Either a fellow Community member can nominate another member, you can nominate yourself or the Community team can select you.

I used to contribute.

1) I have asked and answered many questions.
2) I have written many articles.

However now my profile says that I have written 0 articles and 0 Questions and I have fallen back to a Kilo Contributer. I also can't post Articles. So its all a bit discouraging.

Hi @Doug5 I've noticed your other recent comment about "combining your profile from two email addresses." Apparently that is causing some issues with your profile. I'll see if someone from our Admin team can investigate.

For now, I'll move your comment to a more relevant space on the community where you can disclose your email etc. in private.

Hi Sarah,

Now a days I see different star colors against user profile in Developer Community. What does they refer to?

Re: Rising Star Recognition Program

Sandeep Rajput — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 17:52:52 GMT

@Divya Menneni A green star along with a user profile represents an MVP user. Whereas a blue star

represents a Rising Star user on the community.

I personally dont like the form for submitting nominations. The form for nominating someone else is too descriptive and we may or may not have any clue about the Nominee's overall exp, skills, certifications etc.

The form makes sense if someone is nominating himself but in my pov I would think twice submit a nomination for someone else if it asks too many details. It should ask only the nominee name, links and sources, profile URL etc.

Hi @Sarah G_ ,

I also have the same issues. My ranking seems have been degraded to a tera contributor only.

Thanks,

The Rising Star Program....says "The submission process will be open July 1-31 and December 1-31st each calendar year."
It is already end of working day on Dec 1, 2023. When you click on the Make a Nomination button it says "Sorry, this survey is not currently active."

Hi @Sandeep Rajput @Sarah G_ ,

Do we also get some extra portal access on developer community if we are selected as community rising star.

Re: Rising Star Recognition Program

Sandeep Rajput — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 16:54:08 GMT

@Anubhav24 As a Rising star, you should get more access to create articles and blogs on the community.
